Podcast no 29 : Jenny Downs : Environmental enrichment intervention for Rett Syndrome: an individually randomised stepped wedge trial.
‘This study reinforces why an enriched environment is so important. Not only do children gain important gross motor skills that enable them to be able to explore and have enriched experiences, they also have a physiological response with a 2-3 fold increase in their Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) protein! Knowing the importance of this protein from a neurological perspective – this provides so much power to the importance of environmental enrichment and specificity.’
